That is some A+ trolling. Probably the funniest post yet - well done.

Until Smith goes ahead and sues the CBC for defamation, anything she says can be taken as a total, unserious lie.

She will never sue the CBC because it will result in her total undressing in court.

This is a wonderful unforced error

CBC publishes some info on the story and why they are sticking with it. Sounds like they are pretty confident in their multiple sources.

So clearly they are comfortable in their position.

Good

That does not mean that they are anonymous. CBC knows the names of the sources, knows where they work, and has carefully assessed the credibility of the information they offered, but agreed not to use their names so as not to put their jobs at risk.

Unforced error “we haven’t even seen any emails we are reporting on but we know a guy who knows a guy.”

I really hope that the CBC is just letting Danielle dig her own grave and then hits her with the evidence when the timing is perfect

That’s a pretty disingenuous take, Yoho.

Smith should definitely sue CBC. Go for it. 100% support this move.

In fact, feel free to use public funds for the lawsuit. Go Smith go!

Some people don't know the difference between anonymous and unnamed sources. Other people do but conflate them intentionally to support their desired narrative.

Alberta Health Services has declared an outbreak of pertussis — commonly called whooping cough — in parts of southern Alberta.

Pertussis is a bacterial infection that can cause severe coughing that can last for weeks. It's most dangerous to infants, who are at risk of serious complications, including pneumonia, convulsions, brain damage and death.
Quote:
Sixteen cases of pertussis have been identified in the South Zone. Of these, three patients needed to be hospitalized, AHS said.

"Pertussis immunization is safe and effective against preventing severe illness," AHS said.

Uh huh...Isn't that a nice side effect of all this misinformation...

One kid in my grade 3 elementary class caught "whooping cough", and for the rest of the year we wouldn't stop greeting him like this:

Children are jerks.

I once had the whooping cough, and it lasted for three months. It sucked major, major ass.
